Spotify’s ‘Nature’ Artist Page Has Generated $225,000 for Conservation Efforts in Colombia


Spotify's "Feat. Nature" artist page has raised $225,000 for conservation efforts for agencies working to protect areas of Colombia's Tropical Andes.

On Thursday (Oct. 24) at the COP16 Biodiversity Conference in Cali, Colombia, organizers of the Sounds Right project — which launched the page on Earth Day in April — announced that $225,000 generated by the project will be donated to agencies working to protect areas of Colombia’s Tropical Andes, a region that boasts one of the world’s highest rates of biodiversity and native species. “We strive to leverage our platform for good and inspire, engage and educate listeners and the wider community to take climate action,” Spotify’s sustainability lead Hanna Grahn said in a statement. Sounds Right was developed by the Museum for the United Nations — UN Live, a Copenhagen-based organization that uses culture to create local action and global change in collaboration with a variety of climate-focused partners.
